[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0026] It should be noted that when a component is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another component, it can be directly on or indirectly on that other component. When a component is referred to as being "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to or indirectly connected to that other component.

[0027] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0028] It should also be noted that the directional terms such as left, right, up, and down in the embodiments of this application are only relative concepts or are based on the normal use state of the product, and should not be considered as restrictive.

[0029] Please combine Figures 1 to 4 This application provides a tabletop 10 suitable for a steering wheel. Please operate. Figure 1 The tabletop 10 has a through mounting hole 101 for inserting a steering wheel to fix the tabletop 10 onto the steering wheel.

[0030] For ease of description, with a human body in the driver's seat as a reference, the steering wheel is located in front of the driver, and the mounting hole 101 is located on the front side of the table 10. The existing steering wheel is mounted to the vehicle body at a slight angle. After the table 10 is inserted into the steering wheel through the mounting hole 101, the center of gravity of the table 10 shifts from the steering wheel and is located behind it. The steering wheel abuts against the wall of the mounting hole 101, achieving a balance with the weight of the table 10, thus securing the table 10. In use, the table 10 is inserted into the steering wheel with its surface nearly perpendicular to the steering wheel surface, and then released. The table 10 automatically achieves relative stability with the steering wheel under gravity. For disassembly, the rear side of the table 10 is slightly lifted to release the relative stability with the steering wheel, and then the table 10 can be removed. Therefore, the design of the mounting hole 101 in this embodiment makes the installation and disassembly of the table 10 very simple and quick, requiring no additional fixing devices.

[0031] In this embodiment, the mounting hole 101 allows the steering wheel to be inserted from above to fix the table 10 onto the steering wheel. In other words, the table 10 is inserted into the steering wheel from below to achieve assembly. In other embodiments, the table 10 can also be inserted into the steering wheel from above to below.

[0032] The tabletop 10 has a clearance hole along its front side edge, which extends to the mounting hole 101 and runs vertically through it to avoid the spokes of the steering wheel.

[0033] In another embodiment of this application, when the tabletop 10 is assembled to the steering wheel, the tabletop 10 is horizontal or tilted upwards at an angle of 0-5°. In other words, the tabletop 10 is horizontal or slightly tilted upwards during use. Ideally, the tabletop 10 should be horizontal in use. Under load, the tabletop 10 tends to rotate downwards due to pressure, and the slightly upward tilt design counteracts this tendency, ensuring the tabletop 10 remains horizontal during use. With the steering wheel fixed, the tilt angle of the tabletop 10 can be controlled by fine-tuning the size and shape of the mounting hole 101.

[0034] In the illustrated structure, the mounting hole 101 is covered by a friction-increasing component 17. Optionally, the friction-increasing component 17 can be a rubber component or a silicone component. The friction-increasing component 17 serves two purposes: firstly, it acts as a protective layer to protect the tabletop 10; secondly, it increases the frictional resistance between the tabletop 10 and the steering wheel during use, thereby enhancing the tightness of the tabletop 10 and the steering wheel.

[0035] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 The tabletop 10 includes a first support plate 11 and a second support plate 12 that are detachably connected. The first support plate 11 and the second support plate 12 are detachable, allowing the tabletop 10 to be disassembled into smaller parts for easy storage. It is understood that the tabletop 10 can be formed by splicing two detachable parts, or the number of splices can be set to three or more, without any limitation.

[0036] Preferably, the first support plate 11 and the second support plate 12 are arranged along the length of the tabletop 10. In the illustrated structure, the length of the tabletop 10 is in the left-right direction, and the tabletop 10 is divided into left and right parts (the first support plate 11 and the second support plate 12) along its length. Taking a tabletop 10 with dimensions of 42*28cm as an example, dividing the tabletop 10 into left and right halves results in a component approximately 21*28cm in size. This component can be inserted into the gap between the driver's seat and the center console, or the gap between the passenger seat and the center console. After insertion, its height (21cm in this example) will not protrude beyond the height of the vehicle, thus not affecting the driver's other operations. When the driver needs to use their own tabletop 10, they do not need to leave their seat; they can simply remove it from the driver's or passenger's side, making operation very convenient.

[0037] In the illustrated structure, the first support plate 11 and the second support plate 12 are divided approximately along the centerline of the length of the tabletop 10. In other embodiments, the first support plate 11 and the second support plate 12 may also be divided at one-third of the length of the tabletop 10 or at other proportions. Those skilled in the art may also split the tabletop 10 along its width to form the first support plate 11 and the second support plate 12, as long as the dimensions after splitting satisfy that the first support plate 11 / second support plate 12 will not interfere with the driver's operation when inserted into the gap between the driver's seat and the center console.

[0038] As described above, the table 10 provided in this application, through its detachable and segmented design, makes it possible to store it in the gap between the driver's seat and the center console of a car, reducing its height when stored and thus avoiding interference with other operations by the driver, thereby improving the convenience of use and storage.

[0039] In another embodiment of this application, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The first support plate 11 is provided with a protrusion 13, and the second support plate 12 is provided with a groove 14. The protrusion 13 and the groove 14 are configured to cooperate, and the groove 14 extends to the side of the second support plate 12 to form an opening for the protrusion 13 to enter.

[0040] The slide groove 14 defines the movement path of the protruding strip 13 and the first support plate 11, allowing them only the freedom to move back and forth. One end of the slide groove 14 is closed, while the other end is open, with the opening allowing the protruding strip 13 to enter, and the closed end serving as a limiting point. The protruding strip 13 enters the slide groove 14 through the open end. When the protruding strip 13 abuts against the closed end of the slide groove 14, the first support plate 11 and the second support plate 12 are assembled in place, achieving automatic alignment of the first support plate 11 and the second support plate 12. The first support plate 11 and the second support plate 12 can be fastened by the interference fit between the slide groove 14 and the protruding strip 13. Alternatively, a locking structure can be provided to limit and fasten the first support plate 11 and the second support plate 12 after they are assembled in place.

[0041] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the protrusion 13 is provided on the first support plate 11 and the sliding groove 14 is provided on the second support plate 12. In other embodiments, the protrusion 13 can also be provided on the second support plate 12 and the sliding groove 14 can be provided on the first support plate 11, as long as the sliding groove 14 and the protrusion 13 are configured to achieve a detachable connection between the first support plate 11 and the second support plate 12.

[0042] The convex strip 13 and the groove 14 have a relatively long dimension, which allows the first support plate 11 and the second support plate 12 to have a large contact area and mutual restraint, which helps to improve the tightness of the connection and effectively improves the structural strength of the connection, thereby improving the overall load-bearing capacity of the table 10.

[0043] Figure 4In the structure shown, the cross-section of the protrusion 13 is T-shaped, and the shape of the groove 14 is adapted to the protrusion 13. In other embodiments, the cross-sectional shape of the protrusion 13 can also be dovetail-shaped or spherical, etc. Through the anisotropic design of the protrusion 13 and the groove 14, the first support plate 11 and the second support plate 12 are interlocked to achieve a stable effect.

[0044] In other embodiments, the first support plate 11 and the second support plate 12 may also be detachably connected by snaps or other means, which is not the only one.

[0045] In another embodiment of this application, the tabletop 10 is provided with a locking structure to restrict the movement of the first support plate 11 and the second support plate 12 after they are assembled, effectively preventing them from accidentally separating.

[0046] The locking structure includes a limiting groove 16 and an elastic element 15 that are configured to cooperate. In this embodiment, the limiting groove 16 is located on the first support plate 11 and the elastic element 15 is located on the second support plate 12. In other embodiments, the positions can be interchanged, which is not limited here.

[0047] When the first support plate 11 and the second support plate 12 are aligned, the elastic element 15 is placed in the limiting groove 16 to limit the movement of the first support plate 11 and the second support plate 12. The elastic element 15 has an inclined guiding surface, an arc-shaped surface or a spherical surface, so that under the action of external force, the elastic element 15 is driven to undergo elastic deformation and leave the limiting groove 16, thereby releasing the restriction on the movement of the first support plate 11 and the second support plate 12.

[0048] In this embodiment, the limiting groove 16 is provided at the opening of the first support plate 11 or at the closed end opposite to the opening, so as to ensure the continuity of the protrusion 13.

[0049] Preferably, the elastic element 15 is located on the front end side of the slide groove 14, and the limiting groove 16 is formed on the protrusion 13. Compared with the design where the elastic element 15 is located at the open end, the design where the elastic element 15 is located at the closed end means that during the insertion operation of the protrusion 13 and the slide groove 14, the elastic element 15 will not contact the protrusion 13 most of the time. Only when the protrusion 13 reaches the area of ​​the limiting groove 16 will it compress the elastic element 15 and cause deformation, thereby effectively reducing the deformation time of the elastic element 15 during the assembly process and improving the service life of the elastic element 15.

[0050] In another embodiment of this application, please refer to Figure 1 The first support plate 11 and the second support plate 12 are provided with storage cavities 102 for placing items. The storage cavities 102 are located on the side of the tabletop 10 in the width direction.

[0051] In conjunction with the foregoing, the tabletop 10 is divided into a first support plate 11 and a second support plate 12 along its length. Storage cavities 102 are provided on both sides of the tabletop 10's width. When the first support plate 11 and the second support plate 12 are vertically inserted into the gap between the driver's / passenger's seat and the center console, the openings of the storage cavities 102 face upwards, thus becoming storage spaces for storing items, which is very convenient. Those skilled in the art may also provide storage cavities 102 only on the first support plate 11, or only on the support plates; this is not a specific limitation.

[0052] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 or Figure 3 The storage cavity 102 includes a card storage slot 103 and a mobile phone storage slot 104. Users can place their mobile phones, ID cards, bank cards, and other personal items inside the storage cavity 102. Depending on usage needs, the storage cavity 102 is functionally divided into a card storage slot 103 adapted to the size of ID cards and bank cards, and a mobile phone storage slot 104 for placing mobile phones, facilitating organization and storage.

[0053] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
